Lyrics

I wanna swim in the ocean, far from the shore
Till my arms burn and they don't churn anymore
I wanna dance in the highway in the dead of night
With a long black veil flowin' over my eyes
I wanna run away from this emptiness
I wanna run and run and run and run and never come back
When I was young I thought I'd break out of this hourglass
Now I'm buried alive by its sinkin' sand
With nothing left to worship, no spirit left to fade
Angels purge, and their golden words drip down on me like rain
I wanna jump through the stain glass that's staring me down
Till every color of Jesus lies in pieces on the ground
I wanna run away from this wilderness
The further that I run the closer I get to the edge
When I was young I thought I'd break out of this hourglass
Now I'm buried alive by its sinkin' sand
And I don't have no fight left in me
And I can't go on keep pretending
I don't have no fight left in me
And I can't go on keep pretending
I don't have no fight left in me
And I can't go on keep pretending
I wanna swing from the trees the breeze breaks in
And fall like the leaves when the branches bend
